Towards the end of the last #LTHEchat Prof Phil Race tweeted:

#lthechat Oh dear, I’m now addicted to this chat. What on earth will I do with my Wednesday evenings during the summer? Help! https://t.co/zIJxTh2EGg

In response Prof Peter Hartley put forward the suggestion for a Summer community-led pop-up chat. What’s this you might ask?! Well it’s a tweetchat where you the #LTHEchat community suggest themes and then vote for the top theme. Once decided you will then suggest the questions for this theme.

The plan is to:

• open and share a Google doc with a deadline which allows everyone to suggest a main theme for the chat and vote on others’ suggestions. We will kick it off with a few suggestions.
• at the first deadline – 8th August – confirm the top theme and issue a new doc with a deadline which invites questions on that theme.
• at this second deadline – 14th August – confirm the 6 top questions and their order
• run the chat at the agreed time and date – 8-9pm on 16th August.

As everyone has the theme and questions, everyone can facilitate!

UPDATE

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?! The #LTHEchat community has worked together to choose and vote on a topic and a collection of questions.

Some students feedback negatively on the ‘flipped classroom’ teaching style. Is the answer blended delivery or improved flipped classroom?

• Q1 So we are all on the same page, exactly what do you mean by the ‘Flipped Classroom’ teaching style? #LTHEchat
• Q2 What Flipped Classroom activity has engaged your students most? #LTHEchat
• Q3 Is there any evidence that the flipped classroom works? #LTHEChat
• Q4 How do you sell a flipped or blended learning approach to your students?
• Q5 What do you do to ensure students undertake reading etc., before F2F session? #LTHEchat
• Q6 What one piece of advice would you give to a newbie re Flipped Classroom? #LTHEchat

The chat was captured as a storify by Chris Jobling, a regular member of the #LTHEchat community and one of our esteemed Golden Tweeters. You can find the storify here: https://storify.com/cpjobling/pop-up-lthechat

Below is how it was organised. Well done everyone.
